Not sure if you guys know this but if you put the opened tube in a plastic bag remove the air and toss it in the freezer it will last a very long time. I use one over a year. I have taken oil and water based paint tools brushes rollers etc. and tossed them in plastic bag and in a bucket of water sea...

I have used the 20 dollar faucet fuel pumps they are slow takes forever. 3/4" hose is much faster with one person inside with the hose in the opening for the sending unit and second person outside with the cans. The clear hose is great for many reasons to inspect what is coming out of the tank and t...

Keith What JP is saying is get those engines out of there, and when you are done, hose everything down, and paint the bilge. Fiberglass dust can kill an engine. It turns to resin when heated and gums up the works. By way, looks like someone already glassed in the shaft logs, but with all the dust I...

I like the aluminum trailers just picked up a new 18000# for 6300.00 and bought a new aluminum one for my 24' for 2300.00 few years back.
The smaller trailer weighed about 900# less than the old wall strong trailer.

Nice installation captain should be plenty strong enough for the application with the marine ply.

Was thinking going down the road this afternoon it would be nice in a perfect world to get a loan against your boat then buy one with Diesels then when and if the market increases sell the old one.

Keith Poe

I have hung thousands of doors not marine residential and commercial and some industrial.

What kind of material is the door made of ?

I ask because when you mortise out the end of the door it can make them weak.

I bought this 31-b for 20-K with 500 hours on the motors pretty good deal. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/561678_523730147652599_1174699825_n.jpg I bought this 7.4 Mercruiser MPI with 200 hours on it from the great lakes area never been salted for my 24' skip jack for $3500.00 on E bay. ...

I believe it depends on what your alternator voltage is and it's efficiency pulleys equated to your RPM.

Keith Poe

Thank you Joe I'm using aluminum decks no plywood and there is still termites in the rest of the boat why I'm concerned i killed thousands as i removed the old wood. when i start milling out all the beams sawdust will be every where it's going to be like chumming sharks and i would hate to have to r...

Keith Poe

I have a lot of carpentry work to do before i start glassing everything in.

Is there something i can use to seal the lumber as i shape it before glassing it that will keep the termites at bay till i can get the glass over the new lumber that the resin will adhere to ?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Joe you can all ways tell a Ca property very distinctive stucco, fences and block walls and houses close together and remodel windows, bushes and trees.

The proper attire for grinding fiberglass is featured in the pic below....... If you are approached by a fashion expert and informed that the Tyvek suit makes your ass look fat an acceptable answer is "Bite My Ass".

Yes just the inside grinding all the areas sticking up from sawzalling everything out. I'm using the 7" grinder and a 4" grinder 36 grit and will try the 16 grit using my 235 pounds against it.

Last 31-B i grinded inside i had a barrel full of fibers when i was done after doing it all day and i was itching for a week sleeping did not come easy so if there is any way i can prevent that with the suit and AC and shop vac i already have I'm doing it. I picked up some 16 grit today going to mur...

Time for a big party

Keith Poe

Hello guys i started grinding yesterday sucks but not one itch yippie. I used a small air pump for an aquarium to pump air conditioned air in to my dive mask to reduce the fogging worked pretty good but i need a little more flow. I was only able to stand about an hour and fifteen minutes to hot. I h...

Keith Poe

Hello Tavis welcome aboard I'm a new comer to.

Sounds like an exciting job.

Parker's are popular on the west coast but love the 31-B hope you find a great one and bond with your child can't think of a better way.

Keith Poe

Why did you change the wires was it running below 2-K before you did ?

Maybe put the old wire cap rotor back on one at a time and see what happens try to narrow it down ?

Keith Poe

Walter i don't know what to say scarry as hell.

I'll keep you in my prayers.

Check out this video and you will clearly see large pelagic species in and outside the US EEZ on the west coast are one in the same so the long lines being forced to fish out side the 200 miles makes little if any difference especially south of the US boarder where they can fish with in 50 miles the...

I was lucky enough to have several articles published in the Edge but I'm sure it was an accident. I'm not sure they are still distributing on the west coast ?

Keith Poe

Nothing like a dark color to hid the dirt just a quick rinse and great for reducing light reflection at night with 3000 watts of light on deck.

Keith Poe

Glad you found the problem Peter

When I'm looking for leaks on decks windows roofs i use a hose or sprinkler to find the problem.

Keith

Keith Poe

Sounds like to me you have to much weight in the front i would strip everything out of it i could and put 4 guys on the transom or swim step as far back as i could safely then lift the tabs all the way up and go for a sea trial and see if it makes any difference. Would be great to get a video from a...

Keith Poe

Hey Chris sorry to hear your having problems. The picture where the bottom is being cleaned looks like a lot of barnacles on the ground. Is the performance noticeably different before and after cleaning ? does it affect the problem in any way you have noticed ? http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/c...

Keith Poe

Keith, the dive mask will most likely end up fogging continuosly. When I'm grinding, and can't avoid matter in the eyes, like in an enclosed hatch or locker- I put on a nice set of Bolle ski goggles I picked up for that. Scratch & impact resistant lenses, soft foam padding, and most importantly the...
